@82mhz Totally. So, did some testing and found that FreeTube can export channels into an opml file. This means you can do a Google Takeout of your subscriptions, import to FreeTube, then export from FreeTube to opml, and then import in a feed reader. Just tested it and worked with FreshRSS.

@82mhz I've been following YT channels using the feed URL generated by YT. It is kind of a PITA because you have to find the channel ID, but once you have it you will get a true RSS feed.

For example using DB tech, the feed URL is like this:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCVy16RS5eEDh8anP8j94G2A

All you need to do is change the channel ID at the end of the URL. There are some web tools to get them. I've also seen people got to the channel page and the using the browser inspect tool to find it. The way I did it was through NewPipe/Tubular on my phone. When you go to a channel there is a feed button. I bet a desktop app like FreeTube does the same.

@jnv The link: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube

@jnv This is great and a cool way to use LocalSend. For a TV interface, check out SmartTube. It is a lean back interface, but blocks ads and connects with DeArrow and SponsorBlock. Works great on our TV, plus the Chromecast with Google TV, and the Walmart Onn TV box.

New blog: I’ve been daily driving my new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 for about 10 days. Aside from some quirks, it is what I always wanted in an EDC laptop. It is essentially an Android tablet with a desktop browser, which is perfect for me.

Early thoughts on the Duet 3 as my EDC laptop

Aside from some quirks I'll mention, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 what I always wanted in an EDC laptop. It is essentially an Android tablet with a desktop browser and I couldn't ask for anything more.

I have a collection of misc Raspberry Pi devices I am not using. For example, I have a RPI 2 Model B and the original Pi Zero. What would you do with them?

I'm originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and moved to the Puget Sound region about 15 years ago. People will ask me why I moved and my answer is always the same: Why would I live anywhere else?

Anyone aware of a read-it-later desktop or mobile app that is not a service or connects to the cloud? An app where all of the data lives on-device only?

For context: Apps like Omnivore and Pocket work well, but connect to a remote server. I'm looking for something similar to an RSS reader where you add your own feeds and it is on device only, like Liferea on desktop or Feeder on Android. I know things like Linkwarden and Wallabag exist, but I'm looking for something that doesn't need a server component. It happens just in the app and never leaves my device.

My wife surprised me with a new Lenovo Chromebook Duet as a gift after hearing me talk about it. Wrote up some early notes about it. https://blog.ctms.me/posts/2024-10-26-so-i-got-a-chromebook/

A nearly 3,000 word post on my EDC laptop, which is my phone and a lapdock. Plus, what I think I'm going to do next now that this setup has run its course. Its long, read if you want I guess. https://blog.ctms.me/posts/2024-10-23-edc-part-2-laptop/

Update: I moved the blog back to my Debian server. Absolutely nothing wrong with running the blog from this Pixel phone and never once had any issues. I just have too many misc devices around and I wanted to consolidate. It's also the end of my solar panel testing. Now it happily runs in a VM but I can move it back at anytime.

My family: I think it's cold enough to turn on the heater for the season.

Me:

@jnv I originally set it up for a project, then never used it. Now I'm considering using it as my main PC since I'm shuffling some computers around in the house. So I'm debating if I should set up yet another desktop or just try to make this work.

I have a laptop I setup with Win10 & has all the apps I use configured. Do I stick with Win10 or go through all the work to install a Linux distro? No gaming, just typical workstation use. It's a 6th gen Intel with Nvidia 940m GPU & honestly the GPU works better on Win10.

I am just not interested in podcasts any more. I have been listening to podcasts since I got my first mp3 player in 2004-ish. I've just got tired of, honestly, the half-assed effort put into most productions. I don't mean the sound quality or editing, but the actual content. The low quality content is driven by the the fake requirement to publish on a schedule and to have more episodes so you can bill for more ads.

I'd rather you hold the content until it's your best instead of publishing every week.

I'm really into reading and watching people talk about their portable desk setups. Like, people who work from coffee shops, trains, or vans. However, most of them are essentially ads for Apple. Anyone have blogs or videos to recommend that don't have any Apple products? #Linux #EDC #AskFedi #Android

I was inspired by @joel to write a post about the items I keep in my EDC backpack and in my pockets. I’m going to break up my posts so it isn’t just one massive list. This post is about what I carry on my person everyday, also called a pocket dump.
